An Open Letter to the Christian anti-Mason

An Open Letter to the Christian anti-Mason who wishes to use the Holy Bible as the basis of his intolerance to Freemasonry.

Dear anti-Mason:

It is not clear to me exactly how literally you may interpret the Word of God. This is obviously a matter of some importance, if we are going to attempt to communicate.

I read in Genesis 17:10 that God tells us to mutilate our male children when they are eight days old. Do you agree?

I read in Leviticus 20:13 that homosexuals shall be put to death. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 14:8 that God tells us not to eat pork. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 14:10 that God tells us not to eat clams, shrimp, or lobsters. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 21: 18-21 that if you have a stubborn son you are to have him killed. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 21:23 that murderers shall be put to death. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 22:23 that a woman who is engaged and is not a virgin shall be killed. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 22:24 that a rapist shall be put to death. Do you agree?

	I read in Deuteronomy 22:27-28 that is all right for a man to have sex with an unwed virgin, as long as he does not get caught, but if caught he must pay her money. Do you agree?
	I read in Deuteronomy 23:2 that a child born of an unwed mother, and her children's children's, children's, children's children's, children's, children's children's, children's, children's children, may not worship the Lord in Church. Do you agree?
	I read in Deuteronomy 24:7 that a thief should be killed. Do you agree?

I read in Deuteronomy 25:5 that if your brother dies you are to bring his wife into your home and have sexual relations with her. Do you agree?

I read in Micah 7:5 that husbands are to keep secrets from their wives. Do you agree?

I read in Matthew 10:35 that Jesus says that he has come to set children against their parents. Do you agree?

I read in Mark 10:11 that Jesus says that those who remarry after divorce are committing adultery. Do you agree?

I read in Mark 16:16 that Jesus says that all Jews, Moslems, and Buddhists will be damned and go to hell. Do you agree?

I read in 1 Corinthians 11:5-6 that women must wear hats in church. Do you agree?

I read in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 that women are not allowed to speak in church, and that they should get all their information from their husbands. Do you agree?

I read in 1 Timothy 2:9 that women are not to wear gold or pearls. Do you agree?

Now if you agree to all of the above we may now continue our dialog.

Sincerely,
Nelson King
